Copywritely vs YourText.Guru (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Copywritely if

• Fits if you check pages for plagiarism and keyword stuffing before they go live
• Works for teams handing written briefs to freelance copywriters

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want articles written, as it checks and edits text but generates none
• Watch out: the pricing page lists Beginner above Basic and Pro with fewer documents, so check at checkout
• Tight if you check more than 300 documents a month, which needs an arrangement by email
• Tight if you stay free, at 10 text checks and 10 briefs
• Watch out: plans renew every month through PayPal or card until you cancel

Pick YourText.Guru if

• Fits if you write SEO content in French, or in one of eight other languages
• Works for agencies giving outside writers guest access to a single guide

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's only a demo mode
• Watch out: a guide can be analyzed for 50 days, and unused AI tokens don't roll over
• Skip it if you want to publish straight to your CMS, as there are no native integrations
• Pricey if you need the API, as API plans are separate and start at $432 a month
• Tight if more than 2 of you write, since Lite has 2 members and Essential is $227
